youllneverwalkalone Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Not many mock drafts out there (oddly) but saw another with him at 20. Malcolm Johnston was also later on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland didnt go far in the tournie and the mock draft I saw had him late first round or 2nd round. Although our guys tend to rise as they get more exposure in the combine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's from Vancouver now! Vancouver could afford to pick him so late in the draft because they were the only Canadian team.

I think he's improved a lot but I'm not sold he's got that much higher of a ceiling. However, if he was playing elsewhere in MLS with the same minutes, there probably would be much more attention given to him.

Also his excellent service was squandered by Vancouver’s strikers last year, so the improved play didn’t show up on the stat sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also his excellent service was squandered by Vancouver’s strikers last year, so the improved play didn’t show up on the stat sheet. He lost his starting job to the naturally left footed Martins on the left when the team went to more of a back four (and also had their strong final push for a playoff spot). They re-signed Martins and invested a lot in Gressel (who, when played as an advanced wingback, provided good service but much less so when played in a deeper, more central mid position). They also, fwiw, traded up in the draft to get a French attacking midfielder. I am not sure what the future holds, regardless of Sartini's public statements.

I guess my point here is I believe that if he was playing in the eastern side of this country, he'd be having his tires pumped up a lot more.
